 Ingredients List

  • 2 1/2 cups bread flour (I am sure all purpose would be okay too, but I used bread flour)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, melted and cooled
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp maple extract
  • 2 TBS milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 (15 oz) can pureed pumpkin
  • ~~ Glaze ~~
  • 2 cups confectioners sugar
  • 3 TBS warm water

 Directions

Preheat oven to 350. Spray two baking sheets with nonstick spray or line with parchment paper and set aside.

In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and cloves. Set aside.

In the bowl of your mixer, beat melted butter and both sugars on medium speed until combined. Add egg, pumpkin, maple extract, milk and beat on medium until combined, scraping sides of bowl as needed. With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour mixture and beat until mixed.

Cookie dough will resemble very thick batter.

With a large cookie scoop, scoop dough onto cookie sheets, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 minutes or until cookies are puffy and edges are JUST starting to turn golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before removing to cooling racks.

Once cookies are cool, whisk together confectioners sugar and water. If it's too thick, add more water, one teaspoon at a time until desired consistency is reached. Frost cooled cookies and let set before serving.
